Anyone know what's up with the apparent subnet bans on DV? I've tried to post from at least a dozen different Shaw and Telus IPs, as well as IPs originating in Texas, Georgia, and other places. Did they finally give up and just disallow ALL IPs, then selectively re-allow approved subnets? lol.
So that's what happened ?
Earlier this year I tried to get some information out of DS's admin (as she is also a mod on DV) about why I hadn't been able to post on DV anymore, but she wasn't able to give me a satisfactory answer.
This should explain why I could poster neither without a proxy, nor with one. They simply blocked a lot of subnets.

The admin of DS is a "she"? And she's a mod on DV as well?
Are you sure about that?

I am not sure at all, to be sure. I just know her or she uses "Lise" as a nick, so I assume she is a she ; and I remember clearly she wrote in a reply to my query that she is, or had been, as mod at DV...

I don't know about the DV part, but I'm pretty sure the admin here is a guy. I don't think Lise is the admin here, either.
Lise has no more affiliation with DV anymore.

I'm sure that the Admins just deleted a bunch of ip's without checking. It happened quite often back in those days. Many innocent posters just couldn't post. Oh well, I really don't give a f*ck anymore.

Who'd want it anyway, eh ? :)
LOL. Academe? Is that you?
Who is - me ?
Nope.
Hmm. I realized that although I was posting from different IP ranges, I was always posting with Firefox. I tried with Internet Explorer and it worked fine. I feel like a dumbass. :) If you are 'banned' from DV, you should try another browser, it couldn't hurt.
Hmm, ok. Just wondering M&M. Sorry about that.
i think one of the troll mods at dv should ban *.telus.net and *.shaw.ca and see what happens.
Bahaha. That's really funny to think of me as admin on both DV and DS. Somewhat flattered. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
For the record:
I have NOTHING to do with DV. Mike is the one in charge.
TehBorken is leader here. I am, alas, a follower of the cult that is DiscoverSeattle.

Hi yourself :)
Sorry about abandoning you. I was stuck in a spiritual pothole.
Isn't it about time for Lunch?
Just had mine. I made myself a pizza and it was lousy.
Did you burn it?
Hay, how's the garden coming along???
Just didn't turn out right at all.
The garden's extremely soggy at the moment. We had floods last week and after a few days it's started raining again. Despite this it doesn't look as bad as it could (two trees removed a couple of weeks ago has at last let in more light). I managed to get an hour in early this morning, still taking up lilies of the valley, moving foxgloves around and trying not to notice that the lawn needed cutting. Spring bulbs started shooting in August! Best at the moment are some yello chrysanthemums and a dozen or so cyclamens. I've got some Naked Ladies too - do you know them?
How's your's faring?

Mine was a bit o' ham wrapped in some Swiss cheese. Nope, no bread this time.
Boy, there's nothing like living the high life...or so I'm told.

You say that like it's a bad thing....
I live in an area called "Bothell", but the locals always refer to it as "Brothel, Washington".
That's okay tenk. It's great to see you here again. *kisses*
...or Freudenhaus as the Germans say : much more to the point, don't you think?
I'm a big fan of cyclamens! Sorry about the flood but it sounds like you have things well in hand. I moved recently and left about 2/3 of my plants where they were. Brought some ivy, heavenly bambo, vinca minor and a peace lilly with me.
I moved to an apartment with a walled-in concrete patio area so nothing's going in the ground. Sorry little fellas!
Not sure what to do about Lunch...

It may be funny, but I didn't make it up. You, or some other regular here - I even believe it may have been TehBorken, wrote in a post in March I think, that you were formerly a mod on DV and that you are the admin here on DS.
Your reply isn't very helpful. From Sportsdude's comment, it's obvious you WERE "affiliated" with DV, whatever that means.

I'm quite certain that I never said that Lise was an admin here. Someone else may have written that; if so, they were fibbing.

Let's see..... I haven't been back since the start of this year or even earlier. Had a fallen out with the way DV ran things. Doesn't mean I haven't been back. Just popped in once in a while to see how things are going.
And yes, I was a moderator there. It's no a secret there. And why do you care anyways? It's not like I can re-instate anyone nor ban anyone's IP address.
I have never claim nor made any attempt to state that I'm a DS adminstrator. Why in heavens would TehBorken or anyone say that?
So, let's close the chapter on this silly little drama (topic has been chewed to pieces) and concentrate on how wonderful DS really is.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By all means, lets close the chapter. You seem eager to do so.
To be clear, I don't "care" about you having been a mod on DV. Look up my original post, the reason I mentioned this will be plainly visible to you.
It's just a pity that such silly little drama's as you call it are wrought up by yourselves. You can hardly suggest it's of my making, Lise, if that's what it is. My simply mentioning the fact resulted in TehBorken denying or being surprised as if this was the first time he ever heard about it - yet I myself read it in a post in March this year - then Sportsdude confirming that you had some responsibility on DV, and then yourself mentioning that you are no longer "affiliated" with DV, and at last, yourself admitting that you have indeed been a moderator on DV.
Furthermore, why do you ask me why anyone would say that you are an administrator here on DS ? How should I know ? All I know is I remember having read that somewhere, as I did the info about you having been a mod on DV.
Don't you see how you people are needlessly complicating things ? If the "topic has been chewed to pieces" it's only because you people have contributed greatly in making a real issue about it.

Wrong. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)
OK, MM... whatever you say. It's clear that anyone offering any kind of arguement to you will only generate in whatever hostility you're having at the moment. It's like trying to talk to a brick of wall and I'm not interested in doing that.
Goodbye to you and hope you have a nice day.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, Lise.
I clearly countered your "arguments" with some of my own and yet you try to deny it by presenting them as "hostility" from my part. Furthermore, the "brick wall" feeling is something I am experiencing vividly myself.
It's clear you and some others here who apparently work well together as some sort of clan and have taken over a forum which should have been open to anyone - even those with divergent opinions and who don't like to be shut up by arguments a toddler can see through - have no clue what free speech is about, let alone free thought.
Thanks. Nice day to you too.

What I meant was, I posted that picture but it's not really Pee Wee Herman. It's an imposter. But it's an excellent likeness, and you might as well know, Pee Wee is my mouthpiece.
As will be obvious to you people, the fake MM is trying to sow confusion...

Please do, TehBorken. The imposter is just bright enough to steal my nick, which is much easier than stealing someone's wallet, and less risky.
